Bose TriPort Consumer Headphones

Pros: Outstanding sound quality
Cons: For me, $125 is a lot to pay for headphones.

I’m working on a CD project, consisting of the best of two live festival recordings in June of 2007 and 2008. I did the 2007 recording sort of by accident, as the band before me recorded and the engineer and I cut a deal for him to stick around. ...

Pros: Full range sound, light, very well made
Cons: Tight on my head, unconfortable after hour our or so

For many years I had enjoyed Koss, Sony and Stax headphones, then I stuck with Sony for a while since their studio monitors where light, comfortable and sounded "right". I tried Sennheisers, AKGs, Bang and Olufsen's and only the Sony's endured. I ...

Pros: The comfort and sound are too good to be true
Cons: They're expensive; bass boost gives you the ultimate experience

I am a music connoisseur. I will not settle for anything less than the best. And when it comes to music, I demand near-perfection… Of course, being a teenager and all, money is tighter than anything, so getting to near-perfection is usually not the ...

Pros: aesthetically pleasing, fits around ears well, very nice sound quality
Cons: high price

I've owned quite a few pairs of headphones and these are pretty high up there in terms of overall quality. One thing to note here is that you are definitely paying for that Bose name. The sound quality is excellent but there are other comparable...

Pros: Light-Weight, Comfortable, Stylish
Cons: Sound can be better for the price. The Price

Before I start my review I would like you to know that I try not to focus on the features, capabilities, etc. of the object I am reviewing since it can be readily found in other reviews or in the details tab of the object. For example, if I review a ...

Pros: Bose replaced broken headphones at no charge, superb sound and comfort
Cons: Frame is somewhat flimsy and broke when removing them from my head

I picked these up for a sound class I took back in 2003 that required "good, ear covering" headphones thinking I'd use them for the few weeks the class ran and then pack them away somewhere. Whoaaaa baby, was I was wrong about that! These quickly ...

Pros: AMAZING sound quality.
Cons: Headphones are a little bulky.

WHY I BOUGHT THEM:

I came across these while visiting a Bose store. I tried them out and was absolutely blown away by the sound quality. (I kept in mind that they have top-notch recordings in the demo machines to show the wares at their best...

Pros: Excellent sound reproduction Ergonomic and Comfortable earcup design
Cons: Badly designed adjustment assembly Badly designed wiring

I'm sure everyone has at one point frowned at the ubiquitous label - "Made in China" that appears on practically everything you own. Sometimes even if there may be nothing wrong with it (or may ever go wrong). On this particular occasion I was amused and ...

Pros: Dynamic Range and Sound Clarity
Cons: Packaging!

Bose Triport

These are really great headphones. You will notice the lack of a qualifier: no price range, style or maker attached to the claim. Perfection is in the ears of the hearer, so I will not claim these phones are perfect, but they are...

Pros: Amazing sound, comfort. Bose has a great warrantee policy.
Cons: Breaks too easily

When I first bought my Bose TriPort headphones, I was so thrilled to be privileged enough to listen to music in the way it was meant to be listened to. Sheer perfection of sound. Amazing comfort on the ears, and ability to trap yourself in a world of ...

Pros: Good sound, excellent bass, good clarity, lightweight and portable
Cons: Very sensitive treble and clarity picks out poor recordings or MP3 compressions. Expensive.

Comfort Simply - Amazing. They fit so nicely, warm and I can wear them for hours without feeling I need to get them off. Infact they become transparent, and forget they are there. I would say these are the most comfortable pair of cans I've ...

Pros: Small size for a circumaural headphone
Cons: Sound is mediocre at best

Not to start out totally negative, but I was underwhelmed with these when I first heard them, and my opinion hasn't changed much since then. Unlike most Bose products, these have shown up everywhere, which makes sense for something like headphones. I...

Pros: The sound quality, the low frequency response and the comfort.
Cons: The bulky yet flimsy appearance and the price of the headphones may be a deterrent...

It has to be said from the outset that Bose has only "just" stepped into this market segment of headphones (2002) without having previous experience in it but it must be said that the TriPort headphones are a good, although not perfect attempt. (Other ...

Pros: Extremely light, very comfortable, very open and wide soundstage.
Cons: A huge loss of dynamics. Doesn't like high volumes.

I listened to these at the Bose store and was impressed with the way they sounded. A very open soundfield, I guess, is what grabbed me. I bought them the next day at Best Buy and headed home to side-by-side them with my reference Sony 700's. While the ...

Pros: Great style, comfortable, isolate some sounds
Cons: Questionable build quality, distorted/bassy sound, not a very good value, utterly trounced by lesser-known-brand headphones

I have to give a disclaimer: I don't actually own a Triport, but I've listened to them extensively through friends, store fronts, etc. Therefore, I'm a little qualified to say that these headphones are good...to an extent. Let me explain. Bose has ...
